In order to facilitate the operation of a baking and roasting oven and to keep down the cost of energy as well as to provide a construction which can reliably withstand the high-mechanical stresses from the products being prepared in the baking and roasting oven, it is advantageous to attach the door at a fixed angle to a carriage guided below the muffle and to equip the door with an adjustable carrier for receiving the products to be cooked.

It is an object of our invention to provide a baking and roasting oven which permits the utensils not used during the cooking of the food to be accommodated in the stove. The invention thus overcomes the disadvantage where utensils such as cake plates must be stored outside the baking and roasting oven. According to a feature of the invention, the carriage is configured as a rigid frame equipped with a container or bin for storing oven utensils, such as baking tins, grills, frying pans, and the like.

This construction permits the stove to be fabricated in accordance with standard dimensions which are essentially dependent on the dimensions of the usually heat-insulated muffle.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the carriage bin is tightly connected with the frame. Hence, the bin contributes toward stabilizing the carriage supporting the door and so permits the frame to be produced, for example, with a weaker profile.

According to another feature of the invention, the carriage bin consists of a deep-drawn tub-shaped shell. It is also possible, however, to finish the walls of the carriage bin with a latticed web.

To protect the unused stove utensils located in the storage bin from becoming covered with dust, the bin is provided with a cover.

An alternate embodiment of the baking and roasting oven of the invention, provides at least one drainage opening in the bottom part of the muffle for draining condensed water. This embodiment becomes especially advantageous when the cover and/or the additional bin are inserted into the carriage as a catch bin for the liquid.

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:

FIG. I is a broken out view, partially in section, of a baking and cooking oven according to the invention.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of detail A of FIG. 1 with the door of the oven in the closed position.

FIG. 3 illustrates, in section, the connection of the bin and carriage arrangement of FIG. 2.

FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a baking and roasting oven 2 in a stove l. The baking and roasting oven comprises a muffle 4 adjacent to the hollow space 3, the muffle being formed by a coverside 6, a bottom part 7, lateral walls 8 and a rear wall 9, and has a loading opening 5 on its front side. Within the region of the coverside 6 are situated the heating members 10, ll for high heat and for grill radiant heat and the heating elements 12 for low heat are arranged in the area of the bottom side 7. The muffle 4 is provided on the outside with a heat-insulating layer 13.

The loading opening 5 can be closed by a door M on its front side. The door is attached at a fixed angle to a carriage guided by rollers below the muffle d. The door M is equipped with an adjustable carrier 17 for receiving the foods to be cooked. If required, the carrier can be equipped with additional supports 16.

FIG. 2 illustrates detail A of FIG. 1 with the door M in a closed position through the from region of the baking and roasting oven 2. The carriage 16 is constructed as a rigid frame and supports a bin 19 made from sheet metal wherein are stored stove utensils such as baking tin 20, frying pan 211, and grill 22. As shown in FIG. 3, the bin can be firmly attached with the carriage 16. Also, in place of a deep-drawn tubshaped bin 19, the walls of the carriage bin can also be produced as a lattice-type web in the manner of a basket. The top part of the bin 19 is provided with a cover 23.

To remove the stove utensils from the bin 19, the door 19, the door 14 with the self-supporting carriage 16 is pulled from the baking and roasting oven and the cover is removed or flipped open.

In the illustrated embodiment, the baking and roasting oven is provided with a gaplike drainage opening situated between the bottom side 7 of the muffle and the inside region of the door 24, through which the condensed water collected in the muffle is removed. The cover 23 has impressions 25 for the condensed water which function as a catch basin for the liquid.

If it is required, other suitable vessels can be placed into the carriage frame 16 as catch basins for the condensed water in lieu of the one illustrated.

To those skilled in the art it will be obvious upon a study of this disclosure that our invention permits of various modifications and may be given embodiments other than particularly illustrated herein, without departing from the essential features of the invention and within the scope of the claims annexed hereto.
